FORT WORTH, TEXAS, August %
Campbell Langley, the father Of the
once notorious and not yet forgotten Bill
Langley, removed to Bell County, Texas,
from near Lexington, Lee County, Texas,
twelve years ago. During his residence
in Lee and Bell Counties he has been
known as a well-to do farmer aud an up.
right citizen. Campbell Langley to-day
tells story to some of the leading citi.
zens Of Bell County which, but for his
we'll known Christian character, would
be put down as the widest fiction. He
says that his son, Bill Langley, who was
publicly hanged twelve years ago in Gid.
dings, Lee County, by Sheriff Jim Brown,
in the presence of several thousand peo.
pie, was not hurt at all, but was allowed
to escape. The father says when the
Supreme Court and the Governor refused
to intervene in Bill's behalf, rich uncle
in California came to the rescue with
$4,000, with which he SO worked upon
the sympathy of the sheriff charged with
the execution Of the sentence, that the
friends of Bill were permitted to arrange
things SO that when the drop fell the
weight of the body fell upon an iron
hoop, supported by an appropriate body
harness in such manner that be escaped
physically unhurt. When he had drawn
his legs up and down two or three times
the attending physicians pronounced him
dead, and be was turned over to his
friends for interment.
The coffin, which was actually buried,
contained nothing but stones. While
the last sad rites we're being pronounced
Bill Langley was we'll on his way out of
the country. He has been living since
MS supposed execution in Nicaragua,
where he is leading citizen and one of
the largest land owners and cattle herd
ers in Central America. Those who
know Campbell Langley do not hesitate
to believe his story, which he now makes
public only because Sheriff Brown, who
ofFiciated at the supposed execution, died
in Lee County last week.
